§ MR. FORTESCUE FLANNERY (Yorkshire, W.R., Shipley)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the special rules for wool sorting are now in operation; and, if not, 752 when they may be expected to be put into operation; and whether, if they have been put into operation, they have been served on all employers known to be manipulating the dangerous classes of wools enumerated in the rules?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir M. W. RIDLEY,) Lancashire, BlackpoolThe special rules have been served on all employers known to be engaged in the sorting of dangerous classes of wools; and in all save four cases, where the employers have still the right to object, they have actually come into force.
